What’s new
Hunger doesn’t just hurt people and families, hunger hurts Ontario.
The Hunger Report 2025 has been released, and it reveals that the highest number of Ontarians on record need to turn to food banks for help each month. But it also explores how spikes in food bank use are a warning that some of the province’s biggest challenges – like homelessness, a strained healthcare system, and instability in our communities – could get even worse.
Read the Hunger Report to learn about what’s driving food bank use in Ontario and the essential role food banks are playing in our communities.

How We Feed Ontario
Feed Ontario represents a network of more than 1,200 food banks and hunger-relief organizations across Ontario. Through our network, we deliver millions of pounds of food across Ontario, serving more than 1 million people each year. While we work to strengthen and grow the capacity of the provincial food bank network, to realize our vision of an Ontario where everyone is food secure, Feed Ontario continues to advocate for evidence-based programs and solutions to make ending hunger and poverty a priority in our province.

We are distributing food to food banks across Ontario.
Feed Ontario's food programs work in partnership with Ontario's agricultural, food, and grocery sectors to ensure food banks are stocked with the fresh, healthy food they need to support their communities. Last year, we distributed over 10 million pounds of food to help 1,200 hunger-relief organizations provide food to more than 1 million Ontarians.
